First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at the types of bacteria in the mouth and the levels of a protective antibody in the saliva of children with autism, aged 6 to 18. Researchers collected dental plaque and saliva samples to compare with dental health. The goal was to learn more about oral health in these children, not to test any treatment.
